Unique Luxury Medieval Castle 12 Bedrooms, Gardens, Swimming Pool

This unique property is full of character and history and has been renovated and restored with care keeping traditional features.

This 12th-century medieval castle, located in a small hamlet in Tuscany’s Chianti hills, offers a unique opportunity for a luxury hospitality business. Set in the Tuscan countryside, the property includes a main castle with guest accommodations, independent apartments, a gym, a swimming pool, a landscaped park, and an olive grove.

Positioned at the heart of the hamlet on a hilltop, the castle provides panoramic views and convenient access to key destinations in Tuscany. The nearest town with essential services is just 7 km away, while Bucine (18 km), Arezzo (43 km), Cortona (62 km), Siena (33 km), Montepulciano (53 km), Montalcino (70 km), Florence (74 km), and San Gimignano (77 km) are all within easy reach. Major airports include Florence Peretola (92 km), Perugia (105 km), Pisa (153 km), Bologna (174 km), and Rome’s Ciampino (234 km) and Fiumicino (249 km).

The castle itself spans 800 sqm (8,608 sqft) and forms one side of the main square. Inside, there are nine luxury suites, each with an en-suite bathroom. A separate annexe, located 50 metres away, also offers additional space. Beyond the main structure, three independent apartments (150 sqm total) are situated within the hamlet. The property also includes a 70 sqm gym with dressing rooms, a 20 sqm garage, and storage areas.

The site has a long and fascinating history, dating back to the Langobardic era. The castle was built in the 12th century and was later gifted to the First Florentine Republic in 1385. Over the centuries, it endured attacks and sieges, particularly in 1528 during the War of the League of Cognac. Rebuilt between the 16th and 17th centuries, the castle underwent additional renovations in 1907 and was fully restored in 1997 to become a high-end hospitality venue.

Architectural features include original stone and masonry walls, Florentine mullioned windows, Guelph-style crenellations, and a striking arched loggia leading to an Italian garden. Inside, the castle retains its historic character with terracotta floors, exposed stone walls, frescoes, decorative fireplaces, and wooden beam ceilings. Large windows, some with stained glass, bring in natural light, enhancing the sense of space.

Outside, the property includes a formal Italian garden accessed through the building or via a gated entrance. A short walk from the castle, descending towards the base of the hill, is a 4,000 sqm park with a 14 x 6-metre panoramic swimming pool. Additionally, a well-maintained 1.5-hectare olive grove with 160 trees completes the estate.

With its historical significance and spacious accommodation the property is ideal for a luxury hospitality business. The nine suites and three independent apartments can accommodate up to 24 guests, offering a refined setting with stunning views. The owner could also retain one of the apartments while renting out the others. Alternatively, the castle could serve as a private residence with ample space for guests.
